WHAT IS SPINAL DECOMPRESSION THERAPY?
Spinal Decompression Therapy is performed on a specially designed table. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy is FDA cleared with an 86-92% success rate and can provide relief of both cervical and lumbar pain. Your position on the table, the harness and the angle of the gentle distraction allow for accurate and focused treatment to the affected disc. The pulling action creates a negative pressure inside the herniated, bulging, or deteriorating disc, allowing it to retract naturally, thus relieving disc pressure on the nerve that is causing you pain. Also, the gentle stretching and relaxing of the spine fosters a 
phenomenon called “imbibition”.When you decrease pressure on the disc, (decompression) can foster the drawing in of a bulge and help take the pressure off a “pinched” spinal nerve. This gentle, non-surgical therapy can provide lower back pain relief, sciatica pain relief, and is a state-of-the-art therapy for lumbar and cervical spine pain relief, and pain caused by bulging or degenerative discs.
Your Wellness & Comfort is Our Top Priority at River Oaks Chiropractic
Chiropractic, comfort, and wellness is our top priority for you. We want each visit to be relaxing, enjoyable and healing. For most decompression therapy sessions you can expect to be treated in 20 minutes or less. Many patients see improvements and reduced pain in as little as a few sessions. Decompression therapy relieves pressure from the discs, muscular tissues and joints while stretching the spine with small intervals of stretching through traction which helps improve the body’s blood flow. Decompression is a wonderful non-surgical treatment plan for patients who are suffering from sciatica pain, cervical/neck pain, low back/lumbar pain and cal also be a great option for those with a pinched nerve. Decompression can be a great alternative for pain relief, but it’s important that if you are under the care of another physician, you should follow their therapeutic treatment plans while looking for alternatives to surgery.
